I'm new here and hope I can help. I have illiostomy for 20 years now and my doctor and nurse who did my surgery told me I'm unable to take time or delayed released pills and can't take enteric coated pills as they don't absorb and pass through my pouch as a whole pill and its true as i experience this. Id ask a doctor or surgeon about this. Liquid and regular pills work for me and get absorbed by the small bowel. I dont have my large intestines, so im told the small bowel and the illieum? performs the needed absorption of nutrients from food and meds. Please contact surgeon and doctor etc. This is what my surgeon told me 20 years ago, and it's been true for me and helped. I hope you get the help you need and feel better. Pamela
